A. SAFETY MESSAGES1. Please read carefully through all these instructions.2. Adult supervision and assistance are required at all times.3. This kit is intended for children over 8 years of age.4. This kit and the finished product contain small parts, which may cause choking if misused. Keep away

from children under 3 years of age.5. To prevent possible short circuits, never touch the contacts inside the battery cases with any metal.

B. USE OF THE BATTERIES1. The Robot chassis requires 1 x AA, 1.5 volt battery (not included) and the metal detector unit requires

2 x 1.5 volt AG13/LR44 alkaline button cell batteries(already installed).2. For best results, always use new batteries.3. Make sure you insert the batteries with the correct polarities.4. Remove the batteries if you are not using the Metal Detector Robot away for more than a few days.5. Replace empty batteries straight away, to avoid possible damage.6. Rechargeable batteries must be removed from the battery case before recharging.7. Rechargeable batteries should be recharged under adult supervision.8. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.9. Do not mix different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed.10. Remove empty batteries from the toy.11. Do not short-circuit the supply terminals.12. Do not connect the toy to more than the recommended number of power supplies.

F. TROUBLESHOOTING•If you do not hear beeping when the detector is over a metal object, the object may be too small or not close enough to the detector. In this case, you can try readjusting the sensor.

• If you are trying to detect a very small metal object, try placing the detector just above it. Turn the sensitivity knob down, until you hear the beep. Now very gently turn the knob up just until the beep stops. Repeat your search for the item. If your detector does not beep, turn the knob a fraction, and try again. Repeat this “fine tuning” until you can detect the tiny metal item.

•If the Robot does not move when you press the switch on the remote control, the remote-control batteries may be run down. Try replacing them. If this doesnʼt work, make sure the bare wire on the end of each wire is in contact with the metal parts of the terminals. You can also try lubricating the gears and all axles with cooking oil, to reduce any friction that may be slowing down or stopping the Robot.

H. FUN FACTS• Metal detecting is a popular hobby. Metal-detecting enthusiasts use their metal detectors to look for metal objects hidden in the ground. They often search old battle-fields and other historical sites, hoping to find old coins, jewellery and other treasure.

• In 2009, metal-detecting enthusiast Terry Herbert discovered a hoard of treasure containing more than 1,500 gold coins and items of jewellery in Staffordshire, UK. The hoard was buried more than a thousand years ago.

• Military bomb-disposal experts use metal detectors to search for land mines hidden below roads and in mine fields.

• At airports, metal detectors are used to search passengers for metal objects such as knives and guns.

• In food factories, metal detectors check that no metal items from factory machinery have fallen into the food by accident.

• Electricians use metal detectors to search for electrical cables hidden in walls.

• In 1881, one of the first metal detectors was used to try to find a bullet inside US President James Garfield. It didnʼt work, as Garfield was lying on a bed with many metal springs!

E. OPERATION1. Begin by adjusting the sensor in the metal detector. Make sure the unit is away from the area being scanned or any metal object. Turn the switch lever on the chassis until it presses the “ON” button on the side of the metal detector. Your metal detector is now turned on. 2. Turn the sensitivity knob all the way down. The green LED will blink and a buzzer will sound. 3. Then, slowly turn the sensitivity knob up, until the LED light and buzzer stop. The detectorʼs sensitivity is now correctly adjusted.

4. Now test your metal detector. Move the Robot so that the base of the metal detec-tor is near a metallic object. You should find the green LED blinks and the buzzer sounds, indicating metal underneath.

Now you can start searching for treasure! Try hiding some coins or large paper clips under a piece of card. Drive the Robot over the card. When the detector beeps, youʼve found the treasure! When you have finished, remember to switch off the metal detector unit by turning the switch lever back to its original position.

INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT BATTERY15. Insert a 1.5 volt ʻAAʼ battery into the remote control. Make sure the flat (negative) end of the battery is against the spring.16. Put the remote control battery cover in place.17. Secure the battery cover with the screw. Now push the switch on the remote control one way and then the other to check that the Metal Detector Robot moves backwards and forwards.

Congratulations! Your Metal Detector Robot is ready to go.

CONNECTING THE ROBOT TO THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT13. Get the connecting cable. Push the red wire on the remote control into its terminal hole in the case. Push a terminal cap into the hole to keep the wires in place. Repeat with the black wire from the remote-control case and the black wire on the cable.14. Push the red wire from the motor into its terminal hole in the chassis. Push the spare end of the red wire on the connecting cable into the same hole. Push a terminal cap into the hole, to keep the wires in place. Repeat with the black wire from the motor and the spare black wire on the cable.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT The metal detector unit requires the 2 x 1.5 volt button cell alkaline batteries provided. (Please refer to section B for general instructions on battery use.) Remove the screw from the battery case cover. Take the cover off, replace the batteries, making sure that the plus and minus match those indicated in the battery compartment, then replace the cover and secure it with the screw.

HAND HELD METAL DETECTORYou can detach the metal detector from the Robot unit, and use it as a mini hand held metal detector. Simple press and hold the “ON” button at the side, and adjust the sensitivity as described above. You can use it to detect hidden metal around your house, such as metal screws behind wall switches. Itʼs a useful gadget, which you can even attach to a key ring.

When the metal detector is detached from the Robot chassis, you can attach the moving eyes to the lower base of the chassis. Then, you have a remote control Robot even without the metal detector.

•If the detector does not beep when you turn the sensitivity fully down, the detectorʼs batteries may be flat — try replacing them. Or check if the plastic stripe has been removed from the battery case as in step D 12.

•If the Robot moves in the opposite direction to that indicated on the control, checkif the wires are correctly connected.

• Since the lubricating oil inside the motor may solidify after being stored for a long time, it is recommended that you remove the motor housing cover and rotate the worm gears several turns by hand before using the robot after storing it for a long time. This ensures that the lubricating oil can be spread evenly and the motor will runs smoothly.

G. HOW DOES IT WORK?A metal detector contains a wire coil. An alternating electric current (a current that changes direction many times a second) passes through the coil. This turns the coil into an electromagnet, which creates a fluctuating magnetic field around it. If there is a metal object in the magnetic field, the field creates an electric current flow in the object, resulting in the object having its own magnetic field. The metal detector detects this new magnetic field and beeps.
